The 3 Simple - Rules for Treating Adult Acne
1.Treat the Skin Gently when cleansing, exfoliating and treating
2. Moisturise
3. Use Zinc Supplements
As you know at Advanced skin clinic we are always look for the simplest and most effective way to deal with different conditions. Our 3 simple but vital rules for treating acne are as follows:
1.Treat the Skin Gently when cleansing, exfoliating and treating
2. Moisturise
3. Use Zinc Supplements
1. Treat the Skin Gently
Given that acne is often made worse by stress, hormone fluctuations, incorrect skin care, medications it is wise to make sure that anything we apply to the skin is gentle and doesn’t aggravate the skin or cause the acne in the first place.
We really do need to be very gentle with the skin.
This means that there are a number of no no’s:
- NO- foaming facial wash (as it dries out the skin depriving the skin of its natural balancing oils)Instead use a mild cleanser morning and night only…followed each time with a light moisturizer.
- NO – strong skin toners especially those with alcohol as these also strip the natural oils from your skin
- NO- harsh exfoliation. and definitely don’t exfoliate if you have active pus-filled pimples on your skin.
You may lightly exfoliate your skin once per week. The exfoliate should contain small natural rounded particles. (We use jojoba beads in our facial scrub) In particular you should apply the exfoliant product with gentle strokes and lightly polish the skin… please do not think that you have to sandpaper off the first layer of your skin …this is extremely harsh and will aggravate your skin. It will also open up pimples, cause micro- abrasions and rapidly spread the acneic infection to other areas of your skin!
2. Moisturise your skin
Contrary to popular belief your natural skin oils are not your enemy.They are your friends…especially if you have acne.
The Oil Production Cycle
Your skin is a bio-feedback mechanism and responds to everything that you do to it. You see, your skin is one giant feedback mechanism which monitors the oil levels within it. When the skin is dry, it reacts by producing more oil to moisturize the skin. When the skin has sufficient oil present in the skin the oil factories slow down production. Should the skin be constantly dry due to over cleansing then the skin continues to over produce oil. This cycle accelerates until the skin becomes constantly oily no matter how often you cleanse
The Answer to Slowing the Oil Cycle
According to a recent findings presented to dermatologists the key to calming down this viscious oil production cycle is to take a step back from over treating your skin. To gently cleanse morning and night and to moisturise immediately after. Now the choice of moisturiser is important.
Dermatologists generally recommend using a light moisturising lotion that soothes and moisturises without clogging your pores.
3. Supplement your diet with Zinc
It has been found that many acne sufferers are deficient in Zinc. Zinc is helpful in accelerating wound healing, calming inflammation and helps to regulate hormones. All good things when battling acne. So to ensure that you are getting sufficient zinc in your diet is is highly recommended that you either eat good quantities of zinc rich foods or take a zinc supplement. Zinc rich foods include red meat, eggs, mushrooms, seafood and dairy. If you decide to take a zinc supplement then it is good to also take Vitamin C at the same time to help the Zinc absorb.
So there you have it, the 3 Vital yet Simple Rules to Treating Adult acne.
